Join five innovative startup companies as they compete for $20,000 in direct capital and in-kind services at one of JEDCO’s premier annual events. Startups only have 7 minutes to convince a panel of Jefferson Parish business leaders that their company deserves to win the top prize. YOUR vote matters, too. Come at 1:00 PM for networking and product demos and stay to hear all five pitches. Everyone in the audience will receive a voting chip to be used on one company of their choosing. The company with the most chips receives extra points!

The JEDCO Challenge powered by Greater Lakeside Corporation was designed to celebrate entrepreneurship and elevate our local entrepreneurs. Join us to meet our up-and-coming business leaders!
